The IDF is not a regular professional military. There’s a volunteer force, and a massive reservist element who were working in IT, finance, a bakery, etc before being called up. Someone whose life focus is not the military, is not going to be as capable as a professional
Gaza is also a free fire zone atm (reportedly). Hamas & Al-Quds have been doing some WILD* ambushes throughout the fighting, so semi-trained and jumpy troops are going to shoot at movement and shapes instead of discriminating between enemy combatants, civilians, or the hostages they (ostensibly) want to return.
I trust Zionists about as much as I trust Nazis at this point.
